Hi Adventure Philanthropists,

A new reading engagement has just been added to my November line up! Instead of a formal presentation, this will be a more intimate reading and conversation. Come on out and bring your friends to:

Wednesday, Nov. 12 @ 7:00 pm at A Great Good Place – Oakland

And don’t forget about Sacramento this Tuesday. Go and vote, then come and learn “How to Live an Adventure Philanthropist Life!”

Tues., Nov. 4 @ 7:00 pm at REI - Sacramento

And now for the articles this week:

Photo of the Week > Shwedagon Pagoda, Burma
